Sheila Schult, Clerk to the Board _s u.P 4. 4. } COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA ORDER DENYING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT S-549 High Density Residential (4416 South College Road) The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners having held a public hearing on April 3, 2006, to consider a request by Withers and Ravenel for Kevin Hoban for a special use permit to allow a 122-unit high density project at 4416 South College Road, and having heard all of the evidence and arguments presented at the hearing, make the following FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. The number of units which would be constructed on the property, with its current zoning, in the absence of a special use permit, is thirty (30). Thus, at 122 units, the requested special use permit is for an increase of ninety-two (92) units. 2. The project as proposed would create an additional 200 trips per day, approximately, on College Road,which is currently an F-rated thoroughfare,when compared to a non-high- density development on the same property. 3. The project would be visible from the adjoining Georgetown subdivision, and these large condominium buildings would be less harmonious with that neighborhood than a single-family development allowed by right in the R15 zone. 4. While there is an apartment complex to the rear of this property, all of the immediately surrounding property to the south, east and north are neighborhoods consisting of single family construction. 5. Georgetown subdivision is already experiencing dangerous traffic patterns due in large part to cut-through traffic between 17th Street Extension and College Road, and the proposed project has the potential to make that situation worse. (yj t 1 6. The project would in no way improve the traffic intensity, flow or any other aspect of traffic on College Road. s 7. Questions remain as to whether the project would worsen flooding problems in the i adjacent Georgetown subdivision. 1 Based upon the preceding FINDINGS OF FACT, the Board hereby renders the following CONCLUSIONS: 8. The project as proposed does not meet the fourth requirement of the New Hanover i County Zoning Ordinance, Section 71-1, in that the location and character of the use if il developed according to the plan as submitted and approved would not be in harmony with the area in which it would be located, and would not be in general conformity with the plan of development of New Hanover County. 9. Therefore, because the County Commissioners conclude that all of the general and tY g specific conditions precedent to the issuance of the special use permit have not been I satisfied, it is ordered that the application for the issuance of a special use permit be I DENIED.
